Question: Brainstorming: Does the average temperature of a country affect the Facebook population density.
Hypothesis:Countries with colder climates have a higher facebook population density.
Background:
Facebook statistics have shown that the facebook population density for Iceland it quite high. My hypothesis stems from this fact and considers the population density of other cold climate countries. The theory behind this is that enduring cold temperatures leave people with more time on their hands that must be spent indoors. Therefore facebook is more prevalent because it provides a way to waste time and connect with the outside world while waiting out the cold weather.
Variables:
Independent:The temperature of each country. Have selected 20 different countries, 10 warm countries and 10 cold countries. Countries were chosen based on their average temperature year round, the range of that temperature, and the availability of facebook population data for the country.
Dependant:The Facebook population density of each country. This is determined by dividing the facebook population of each country by its human population. This determines what percentage of each country's population is a facebook member. My hypothesis is that colder climates will have a higher population density.
Time Frame:The time frame for my hypothesis is as current as possible. The population data is taken from a census done in 2008 and the facebook population data is current.
Region: 20 different countries located in all different regions of the world. This was done in order to get an accurate sample of warm and cold countries.
Sampling Techniques:The population of a country is determined by a census sent out to every household in the country.
Bias:Selection was not based on even sampling of warm of cold countries but on countries for which I was able to find accurate data.not based on an even sampling of warm and cold countries throughout the world but o

Graphs:
Warm Countries:
Has a moderate negative correlation. Shows that warmer countries have a lower Facebook population density.
Cold Countries:
Has moderate negative correlation. Shows that most colder countries have higher Facebook population density
Two Variable Graph:
Shows that there is a significant difference between the Facebook population density of warm and cold countries.
Outliers:
Russia is a cold country with an average temperature of 4*C. However, it has the lowest Facebook population density at 2.2%.
Australia and Chile are the only two warm countries with a Facebook population density greater than 45%.
Conclusion:
Therefore, based on my graphs and two variable analysis, my hypothesis was correct that countries with colder average temperatures have a higher Facebook population density.
